Sport - World Cup   

Rivals, not records

John Buchanan, who has coached Australia on its world record test and limited-overs winning streaks, says the World Champions are motivated more by their rivals than records or milestones.

The 49-year-old former school teacher led Queensland to its first two Sheffield Shield titles in 1994-95 and 1996-97 before replacing Geoff Marsh as Australia coach in October 1999. His record with the Australian team has been unsurpassed, although he doesn't have a World Cup, yet.

"We're looking at the way we're going about the things we want to do — batting, bowling and in the field — that's important (and) if we can keep doing those, we're pretty sure we'll make life difficult for any opposition."
